Customer Reviews

The Shelves were stocked, Service was fast and speedy & there are a ridiculous selection of baked in shop donuts for a Gas Station.

Absolutely the best bacon and egg and cheese sandwich I have ever eaten!!!!! Always fresh lots of bacon and the donuts are better than Krispy Kreme absolutely wonderful place

The lady working there tried illegally overcharging me $2 for a 99 cent can. Don't go here for anything, this store is operated by crooks. It even said 99 cents on the can, what she did was completely illegal.

Outstanding donuts, as good as any local speciality shop and the people running the store are very nice and friendly and eager to provide good service

This place is a rip off!.got cigarettes and the spaced out old white guy that works Thursday night didn't put them in the bag.i got home with my drink and realized he didn't put them in the bag.i went back and they wouldn't confess to not putting them in the bag.look in your bags to make sure the crooks do put all items in the bag lesson learned and ill never return.not trust worthy!

Had a burger after finishing some work. Was outstanding. Reasonable prices and large portions.

Thank the maker for little stores like this. They had what I needed and for that I'm grateful.
